I love this place. Innovative food with excellent service. I loved my salmon tartare, a generous portion, and then perfectly cooked cod loin. Just a glass of red as I was driving, must remember to take a can next time !

My first time to Pho and I was very impressed. The gentleman who saw us at front of house was very attentive and explained everything, the 'cubicle' was very clean and well presented and the food... oh my God. The curry was delicious, and my girlfriends soup was even better. The only negative was my booking hadn't gone through to the first gentleman's screen so he couldn't confirm it, despite having received my email confirmation. I only made the reservation about 40 minutes earlier though. However, this did not detract from a wonderful food and social occasion at all. I will be back. 😁

Stanley’s Bar and Grill at the Titanic Hotel is the place you want to be! A place you want to meet with friends and family, a place for business or just to relax.

About the restaurant

Located on the 18th floor of INNSiDE by Meliá, Gino D’Acampo 360 Sky Bar and Sky Bar Terrace are two of Liverpool’s most coveted venues. Combining world-class cocktails with unrivalled views of the city’s skyline, the exclusive restaurant and bars deliver an unforgettable experience.

Soak up the sun along with the incredible scenery at the newly opened Sky Bar Terrace. Suspended over 270 feet above the ground, the contemporary terrace is the highest alfresco bar in Liverpool and unquestionably the chicest spot from which to watch the setting sun.
When the night draws in along with the weather, the drinks continue to flow at 360 Sky Bar. Here guests can enjoy spectacular panoramic views of Liverpool and beyond, with the venue’s resident DJs playing long into the night.

Attended the bar with my family to celebrate my 50th Birthday. Although it was noted on the booking there was no mention of the celebration but that didn't matter as everything else was just perfect! The views, the service all amazing and I can't wait to go back :-)
